Isobel is burned at the stake.Isobel was recruited 의해 Duchess Gertrude to find the stones. Isobel went to a tent with a mystic, and saw a Kryptonian in the globe, who told her that if she got the stones they could rule together. She walked out thinking she herself could rule Earth one day. (Smallville Magazine, "Legend,")

They were captured 의해 the townspeople and were sentenced to burn at the stake for practicing witchcraft. Isobel 로스트 her spell book and was brought to the courtyard to be burned along with Madelyn and Brianna. Before she was burned, Isobel spat blood which intertwined with the book's symbol and added a word giving her a chance of resurrection. The Mark of Transference appeared on her skin, which would enable her to possess Lana's body.

편집 Powers and Abilities
Isobel in Lana's body.Being a witch and having access to a spell book filled with numerous spells, Countess Thoreaux had a repertoire of various powers at her disposal. The most common magical effect that she ever used was conjuring a 레이 of flaring 제비꽃, 바이올렛 light, which she could project from her fingertips to smite her foes; not only did this blast knock the target back, but it could also render them dead. When Clark was hit 의해 Isobel's spell, he was indeed hurt 의해 her magic, but still strong enough to resist the death effect and only be dazed for several minutes. Isobel was also able to use telekinesis through her spells to lift, throw, 또는 manipulate objects. She also had the power to ignite a target in 제비꽃, 바이올렛 flame, and have the 불, 화재 glow eerily brighter than normal. Countess Thoreaux was also able to teleport vast distances with naught but a word, and could use a mind-control like power to extract information from someone 의해 merely being close to them.
The Mark of Transference. It disappeared from Lana's back when Isobel's spirit left her.Other spells that she used throughout her possessions of Lana were the enchanting of mundane weapons like swords (where she threw an 마법에 걸린 사랑 sai at Clark, which was able to wound him), levitate into the air 또는 combine her hovering with a jump to send her across short distances quickly (like the levitation done in her fight with Clark in Sacred), release powerful but short-ranged blasts of 제비꽃, 바이올렛 energy to knock back those in the radius (as she used to propel Clark backwards during a sword fight in Sacred, but it unfortunately sent her back, too), create small rifts in the earth (which she did to uncover one of the three Stones of Power), control the actions of others with her voice (noted when she tells Lex Luthor to play the 피아노 - indefinitely), and place others under a form of temporal stasis (which she does to Lex before she enchants him to play the piano). She also has enhanced physical strength that is somewhat above the average human. She demonstrated it when she burst her bonds when she took possession of Lana Lang in China when Lana was about to be tortured 의해 Chinese soldiers. She demonstrated it again when she possessed Lana for the last time when she easily overpowered and stabbed Genevieve Teague, a much larger woman, with the Air Stone when Teague attempted to kill Lana.
While in China, when Lana was tortured 의해 Chinese soldiers and Isobel took possession of Lana again, she also showed some level of invulnerability. Isobel came back as Lana was being electrocuted 의해 her captors; that electrocution was unsuccessfully used on Isobel.
It seems that her power was far greater than those of her two cohorts, Brianna and Madelyn, who were only able to muster a handful of spells, while Isobel seemed to have a massive reservoir of powers. They appeared to be 더 많이 adept at telekinetic spells, such as when they throw a wheel and various farm tools at Clark, which he was able to either brush off 또는 deflect with his heat vision, respectively. Neither of them had the ability to defy death, requiring Isobel to resurrect them; it was also her who drained Clark's Kryptonian powers from him, using herself as a conduit to siphon away all of them. This leads to the assumption that Isobel is the greatest of the three, wielding 더 많이 power than any other non-alien character in the entire series.
